Jardins Project Funded & Sponsored by Student Affairs, SFASU, $500 (December 1, 2015 - April 20, 2016). The project was to determine if growing vegetables in one large neighborhood assisted families with access to healthy foods and choices. The other benefit of this research was for the purpose of exposing students to community and cultural aspects. Students engaged one predominantly Hispanic neighborhood and went door-to-door with faculty and an indigenous leader in the community, to inform the residents of their project and identify those interested. Seven gardens were planted in collaboration with residents and families that wished to sponsor these gardens for the neighborhood. Students planted small gardens to include vegetables of the family’s choice by following the instructions of the certified registered Permaculturalist and other community gardening experts. Students visited the neighborhood during class time and students had a schedule on a weekly basis to work in the community and gardens under the supervision of the community gardener representative, faculty, and Permaculturalist.
